  4. Arcade/Hope BB/SLX crankset compatability issues?

    in Trials Chat

    Posted · Edited by onzatpro09

    Hi guys,

    I have a pretty major problem... It seems that my Hope bottom bracket and first couple of threads on my Arcade's BB shell have stripped...

    With the standard 2x2mm spacers on the drive side and 1x2mm spacer on the non-drive side the chainring doesn't clear the stays so I may have made a potentially (probably) horrendous mistake of running all of the spacers on one side...

    What do I do? Get another BB (or just drive side cup if possible) and try and figure it out/completely wreck the frame threads or buy an ISIS crankset that may not clear the frame either? Or am I stuck having to get the Arcade crankset that will definitely fit?

    Have people used this or a similar setup before, and if so, how? Where should I go from here?

    Not to mention that I'm going on a bikey holiday to Devon in a week...

    Cheers,

    Joe

    I have mine set parallel to the toptube of my frame mainly for aesthetics, but it isn't bad to sit on when cruising about. I've never had issues with it getting in the way, although I am not an extreme rider :P

    The simplest answer slightly more likely than a 180, and 180 is slightly more likely than a 160. It's just the amount of leverage over the frame as the callipers distance from the frame increases. That being said, I've only seen the brakes an adapters crack, the one frame I saw crack from a 203mm was with a disc tab that was an afterthought in terms of design

    That is along the lines of what I was thinking... inspired disc mounts are pretty beefy so I doubt I would have a problem :)

    You are my kind of man! The only reason I don't run 203s is that I don't want to invalidate the warranty on my frame. Does anybody know how much more likely you actually are to break your frame with a 203mm rotor?

    Everyone knows hope is expensive and my bike is covered in purple hope parts

    Where I am, nobody has a clue about what Hope parts are, but still want to nick my bike because my purple Hope stuff looks nice :P

    I once got a death threat about the noise my freewheel and brakes were making (or something like that) while riding through my local shops, although I think it was more of the person doing it trying to be funny in front of his mates rather than an actual threat :P

    Floating rotors don't suit trials at all imo, coloured ones i mean... just doesn't look right :S

    Do they look too flouncy and delicate? I find that hard to believe when we are to ones who prance about in leggings, short shorts and brightly coloured shoes ;) #GetRektM9 :P

    I get where you are coming from, but if I'm going down the purple route, I may as well max it out! :P
